When my Daughter was born, she had a serious heart condition. At 4 months old, she had open heart surgery. almost a complete tetrology.
from the time she was born, to the time she had this surgery, she didnt gain a ounce. lucky for us, she was over 10 lbs at birth.
6 days after her surgery, she was home, gaining weight, and bouncing off the walls. She has had health issues since, but nothing major. just asthma and a shitload of ear infections. She cant be stopped and is tough as nails.
She had a residual murmur, which has now healed. we were just told this a few days ago, at a follow up app.
She has a kevlar patch covering the hole in her heart. The doctor says she is permanently fixed.
Here in Ottawa, we have the best heart surgeons and hospital, I would say, in the country.
C.H.E.O. does wonders for kids. Tell your son to be brave, and I will keep your family in my thoughts.
Anything I can do to help out, please let me know.
